I can understand why some people hated this. If you are not someone who self-reflects, is constantly in your head or weighed down by emotional trauma and baggage, you'll miss the entire point of this movie.
It was a beautiful representation of our relationship with our inner child. There were so many insightful things I'd never considered before. Especially how we keep ours trapped as a prisoner when we don't heal and allow that child to grow. We can get stuck in the same bad habits and patterns for decades! I also loved the scene where she told her younger self everything she loved about her. When I think of my younger self, I've always only thought of the pain, my failures, 100% negative thoughts. Sure, I've heard all about loving yourself, loving your inner child, but it never clicked the way that scene did.
I plan to write a letter to my younger self telling her all the incredible things I love about her.
Took off a star because there was some crude and vulgar dialogue that really wasn't needed. But overall an amazing film I'll watch many times.
